I have a funny story about that. When I was 15 we had my dad's friend come stay with us in Florida, and he had a cockney accent. One night I came home and was rather high, I was standing there talking to him with my hands on my hips. He says " Don't stand like that or you will get falalom", I was like WTF and asked him to say it again. Again he says don't stand like that or you will get falalom, again like WTF. I'm stoned and thinking WTF is falalom, a disease (I was rather high). After 5 times of him repeating it I said write it down. He writes don't stand like that or you will get followed home. :jointsmile:

Hahahaha.

That's alot like saying Dic Dok Doe in Broad Norfolk Dialect - Means 6 cubes of oxo!

Here's a few good English phrases.

He yer fa got a dickey, bor? (Has your father got a donkey, boy?)

I got suffen a-shew yo ( I've got something to show you )

I'll box your chops (I'll smack your cheeks)

Garpen outa the winder (Looking out of the window)

Yu'll larf th'other side a y'r kisser sune (You wont find that very funny soon)

My mom's family is from BC (my Oma and Opa...the only words I know how to say in Dutch lol), so they speak French, and have a very thick accent. I, on the other hand, was raised in the deep south, so it makes for an interesting vacation when we visit. I don't think it neccessarily sounds "funny", just different. I'm so used to the southern accent, that I don't even realize how "country" I sound untill I travel up north, and everyone looks at me like I'm a "hick", lol. I'm not nearly as bad as Cohutta (for those of you Real World Sydney fans), but I definetly have a twang:)

First of all, Jeremy Piven kicks ass. Get some Entourage DVDs and you'll learn.

I LOVE monty python. My dad got me into it and he got into it when he was in the navy and visited Australia. He was there for months. So now we have the movies (like Monty Python and the Holy Grail) and Monty Pythons Flying circus. The clips crack me up.

I found that clip so ironic, and I'm sure you know why being an Entourage fan. On the show, he has a gay assistant, and you wouldn't believe the shit he says to him. He literally gay bashes him on one of the most popular shows on TV, but it's absolutely hilarious. Here's an example:

And for anyone interested, here's a montage of Ari Gold [Jeremy Piven] from Entourage, easily one of the best characters in television history.

And PS to Slip: Eminem is officially back in the studio working on his 5th solo album...:thumbsup:
